Wednesday is for One Year: Psalm 112

I simply want to highlight two verses, 1 and 7.

“Praise the LORD! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who greatly delights in his commandments.” Can that be said of you? Many will speak of how they delight in the LORD, but do you also delight in his commandments? This verse implies that the commandments of God are directly attached to the person of God, because the one who is in a relationship with God, or fears God, is the same as the one who delights in his commandments. Therefore it can be said, you cannot love one and not the other.

“He is not afraid of bad news; his heart is firm trusting in the LORD.” If we trust in the LORD, the sovereign one, why should we be afraid of any news? This is much easier to talk about than to live out, but it is to be the goal of any godly man or woman. We are to stand firm, not to be shaken, and the only way to be firm to to be fixed, rooted, in the LORD for He does not change.
